Nice work. Would love to see what type of recovery they are testing.

[TANKS] AAV-7 Fun Project

[Loic atFOA]

Hello Tankers,

FOA was tasked to build an AAV-7 in 1/6th scale for an engineering firm 
testing the recovery of the real vehicles. No much detail is added. We used 
the Tiger I tracks, our experimental M1 Abrams wheels in resin. This tank 
is weighed down to allow water level at the curve of the rear hull. It is 
about 200 lbs. Fiberglass lower hull, no suspension. Two Jet Propulsion on 
either sides of the vehicle for water travel. 

I thought you guys would be interested in this project

Video is here for ground testing:

Tomorrow is the second series of water tests

[TANKS] Re: New Track System

[TyngTech]

Pretty website but has this track been tested with a 120lb tank neutral 
turning in tall grass yet?  Reason I ask is that without guide horns I 
think this track will run off the drive sprocket (especially with a 
suspended tank).  The first gen tanks used chain tracks (with wood slats) 
and slipping off the drive sprockets was the issue with them if I recall.

Re: [TANKS] Re: New Track System

[Michael Butts]

If I recall correctly, a while back he petitioned anyone building a tank to 
help him out with testing. He never got much of a response. I told him I would 
be happy to help but my timeline is pretty long and I'm still in the planning 
stage. I have seen a successful metal hulled, suspended, and roller chain 
tracked tank on YouTube. I believe it was a 1/10 scale Leclerc. The fella drove 
it with him standing on top of it. And also had a video (from a side mounted 
camera) showing the suspension articulation and track movement while driving it 
around. Seemed pretty solid. I would say that if he is committed to roller 
chain then he can make it work reliably. I also believe that rc tank combat is 
not the only market he is aiming at.
